Isn't the broader idea here valid? Will news agencies have cryptographic attestation in their cameras?

Is there any chance your talk was recorded?

It wasn't, but the written version of it it is actually better than what I said in the room (since I got to think a little bit harder and add relevant links).

IIUC your talk "just" suggests using sandbox-exec on Mac, which (as you point out) is sadly labeled as deprecated.

Is that really the best solution the world has to offer in 2025? LLMs aside, there is a whole host of supply chain risk issues that would be resolved by deploying convenient and strong sandboxes everywhere.

My preferred solutions right now:

1. A sandbox on someone else's computer. Claude Code for web, Codex Cloud, Gemini Jules, GitHub Codespaces, ChatGPT/Claude Code Interpreter

2. A Docker container. I think these are robust enough to be safe.

3. sandbox-exec related tricks. I haven't poked hard enough at Claude Code's new sandbox-exec sandbox yet - they only released it on Monday. OpenAI Codex CLI was using sandbox-exec too last time I looked but again, I've not reviewed it enough to be comfortable with it.

I'm hoping more credible options come along for the sandboxing problems.

I found Vibekit's (open-source https://docs.vibekit.sh/sdk) approach of allowing you to chose your own sandboxing solution for any coding cli the most flexible. Also works with openCode and local or cloud sandboxes ! Really quality piece of software that more devs should know about. I'm surprised Simon hasn't tried it yet.

If I understand correctly, Claude Code will(shortly, if not already) make use of Anthropic's sandbox that wraps Seatbelt on OS X, not sandbox-exec?

It's cool that they made this open source. It seems straightforward and useful enough that it could be used on its own for sandboxing purposes.

That library is using sandbox-exec to access Seatbelt: https://github.com/anthropic-experimental/sandbox-runtime/bl...

Yeah they shipped that feature on Monday, you can access it via the /sandbox command. I haven't put it through its paces enough to get a feel for if I trust it yet though.

This got buried quick.

It’s about the intersection of law and technology, nothing for HN. Go back to LLM news, comrade.

It depends on what I'm looking for, but by and large yes. It's still much faster.

That doesn't make any sense.

Not that this is actually what will happen, but: technological unlocks by R&D utilizing AI in the production of all of those things could make them dramatically cheaper or efficient.

Or not. In history, what we have seen is that new technology makes us use more energy, not less.

LLMs are a very good example of that: they are a lot less efficient than the processes they replace in terms of energy. "We produce more with more energy" is the norm.

I can't think of an AI critic with more detailed writing on the subject.

Per number of words in article possibly. But I do not think he "sucks air out of other critics".

I mostly assume that most people end reading his articles somewhere in first third and go on reading something easier to read. His articles are not exactly casual read material and they are loooong. You have to have certain kind of personality to get over first few paragraphs.

The only people using the term NPC in this manner are, themselves, the real NPCs the term was devised to skewer

If you can't take an insult - then you are an NPC

It needs to be paired with an understanding that they do this _with their own money_ and with _their skin in the game_, which are fundamentally missing from broader command economies.

What's missed in that nostalgia: the house was crap; the appliances, if any, were crap; the car(if you had one, and only one), was crap. On and on.

That crap house hasn't been updated and is worth 200x currently in California. Houses that sold for 10k in the mid 70s are selling for 2 million or more in 2025. Cars, appliances and everything else is just a rounding error by comparison.

That's a condemnation of zoning laws artificially restricting the market for housing, which ironically only came about after that period of relative abundance

"Things are not shitty because of X you mentioned but because Y, therefore things are not shitty"

Does not compile.
